Our team
Alex Arguello, DC
I am Dr. Alex Arguello, D.C. I have a passion for helping people like you to live a high quality of life and feel your best at all times. Being a family man, my greatest passion is to see entire families be healthy together. Since 2011, I've helped hundreds of patients and their families get well from a wide variety of health issues, ranging from allergies to ADHD to migraine headaches to low back disc problems, and so much more.
I haven’t always had a passion for optimal health. The first 2 decades of my life I didn’t think much about it and just assumed that I was very healthy. At the age of 23, I was diagnosed with an inflammatory bowel disease called Ulcerative Colitis and went through conventional health care for 2 years until realizing that I wasn’t getting any better with the testing and medications that were provided.
Due to these results, I sought chiropractic and wellness care for the first time in my life during this period and found my passion. I was fascinated by the natural approach and philosophy of chiropractic and the connection of the spine to a person’s overall health.
After starting to take care of his spine through chiropractic care, changing his nutrition, and detoxifying his body the symptoms of Ulcerative colitis started to diminish. After 1 year of healing through this new lifestyle I was off all of the medications that the gastroenterologists told me I would be taking for the rest of my life. I saw improvement in my energy, sleep, immune system and of course digestion.
I received an undergrad biology degree from Augustana College in Rock Island Illinois, and a Doctorate of Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. I have served as a team chiropractor and physician for multiple high school, college and professional athletic teams as well. I enjoy spending time with the Lord, his family, his church community, reading and learning about the latest natural health information, and competing at an amateur level in Crossfit and flag football.
Andrew Gardner, DC
My name is Dr. Andrew Gardner. I am a Chiropractor today because of the results I experienced after having a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in 2010. At the time, I was expected to continue therapy for the rest of my life, dedicating much of my time to re-learning how to walk, write, and boost short-term memory. All of which, health professionals said I wasn't expected to be able to do again. BUT, with the help of outstanding chiropractic care, I graduated high school with honors, ran on the varsity cross country and track teams, and went on to graduate Cum Laude from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2020. As of this day, I am a Doctor of Chiropractic, a certified Trigger Point Therapist, a husband, and a father to two beautiful daughters. My goal in the Quad Cities is to promote health to you and your family so that you’ll get to experience a quality life stemming from healing, health, and function!
Ethan Eaton, DC
My chiropractic journey started when I was suffering from old injuries that had gotten worse throughout the years. The options given to me included surgery and physical therapy which offered no real answers to my health problems. In desperation, I decided to try a local chiropractor since nothing else seemed to help. After only two adjustments, the results I experienced changed my perception of healthcare. Over the next six months, I changed my career path from physical therapy to chiropractic. I left Michigan to start the chiropractic program at Palmer College of Chiropractic in July of 2018, where I started a long but short journey that grew me in ways I never imagined. After meeting a nice young lady, I decided to stay in the Quad City area after graduation in October of 2022. Through attending Sacred City church, I was introduced to Dr. Alex and Dr. Andrew. After meeting them, I gained an interest in how to run a Christian-centered practice. This led to an opportunity to work at GRFC that I joyfully accepted. I enjoy working out, outdoor activities and Texas Hold’em with friends. I’m excited to start a new chapter of my life serving the Quad City area!
